Always were the “next big thing” that never really fully broke out during their prime. Shame as they were more talented songwriters than most of their peers
I would give a testicle, 1 foot, a kidney, and a genourous slice of my liver, to get all albums played and recorded in this type of setting. F'ing phenomenal.
What happened to these aol sessions this is the best sounding one I've ever heard right up there with the new found glory one and at the bottom is the blink one
These AOL Interface sessions are fun to watch but bear in mind that the performances are heavily pitch-corrected. Like, less subtly than the actual album versions, too. But if you don’t mind the robotic-sounding vocals then they are really enjoyable!
The blink one is great. I love that performance of Go and how raw feeling this is. It represented them at that time. Violence from those sessions is killer.
Those are some sweet red kicks Skiba's wearing hoping they're vans. Great band, great harmonizers, great lyricists and all three collaborate together; so good!
I saw them on this tour in Richmond virgina and they completely killed it 😎👌👏 the excitement and performance were amazing and they played songs from every album prior. Such a good trip with me and the wife as we were living in NC at the time. Such a flashback watching this video, they sound so good.
Here you'll find me in between Heaven and hell my dear where nothings what it seems Its just as well up here I'm givin' you the creeps And a farewell kiss to go into the unknown Saw you standing there Outside the music hall you come out for some air Until your curtain call and everyone just stared When you took the stage that night Somethings not right You're up there, took the stairs to the stars all alone You left all the lights burning but nobodies home I believe they deceived your tuneful heart to long And they sing along Help me, help me won't you? Sing me, sing me one last song Help me, help me, somebody help me Save me from myself Here I'll find you in between Heaven and hell again where nothings what it seems It's just as well my friend I'm givin' me the creeps And a farewell to arms and legs and heads and heart You're up there, took the stairs to the stars all alone You left all the lights burning but nobody's home I believe they deceived your tuneful heart to long And they sing along Help me, help me won't you? Sing me, sing me one last song Help me, help me, somebody help me Save me from myself Take me from this hell And they sing along La la la la la la la la [x4] You're up there, took the stairs to the stars all alone You left all the lights burning but nobodies home I believe they deceived your tuneful heart to long And they sing along Help me, help me won't you? Sing me, sing me one last song Help me, help me, somebody help me Save me from myself Help me, help me won't you? Sing me, sing me one last song Help me, help me, somebody help me (la la la la la la la la) Save me from myself Take me from this hell
That's one of my favorites. Definitely my favorite from that album, Crimson. The string intro of the song was originally going to just be played on guitar actually. I like how it is but I would have liked that too hah.
FUCK! THIS IS A CELESTIAL MAJESTICAL AND a great song, BAND and PERFORMANCE! in love with MAtt since blink time. other guys are amazing too. BTW my second cousin looks like Mat =)
haha god damnit as much as i want to like this, it almost makes me angry watching this that said i would be ok with him playing powerchords and no pitch shifting at all..ugh i like trashy sound ..organic ?lol i also love how dan is just BURIED the whole song haha
Tbh after watching other videos live... Tonally his vocals actually do sound like he's being pitch shifted Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the clarification!
@@mxmang You’re welcome! Matt’s a greater singer on his own, but AOL did have a thing of automatically pitch correcting their artist’s performances, regardless of their permission. I guess it’s to give it more of a studio feel but they overdid it. I think they stopped eventually or learned their lesson because I’ve been seen more recent sessions around 2012 where the bands sounded natural, but clean.
Gui Lira can you, as a person, just fucking accept that matt skiba can sing? The reason he sounds bad in blink is because the band’s songs are way higher pitched in vocal range.
Hahahaah what was pre recorded aside from the piano and the dubbed guitar? Also having auto tune is kinda normal in this kind of performances, specially at the time.
